TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine contributions to a public good when some donors do not know the true value of the good, and they show that donors predominantly choose to contribute sequentially, and that the resulting contributions are larger than those of the simultaneous-move game.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the investment-cash flow sensitivity of a large sample of the UK listed firms and confirm that investment is strongly cash flow-sensitive, which is a result of agency problems when managers with high discretion overinvest, or of asymmetric information when managers owning equity are underinvesting if the market demands too high a risk premium.
Abstract: We investigate the investment-cash flow sensitivity of a large sample of the UK listed firms and confirm that investment is strongly cash flow-sensitive. Is this sensitivity a result of agency problems when managers with high discretion overinvest, or of asymmetric information when managers owning equity are underinvesting if the market (erroneously) demands too high a risk premium? We find that investment-cash flow sensitivity results mainly from the agency costs of free cash flow. The magnitude of the relationship depends on insider ownership in a non-monotonic way. Furthermore, we obtain that outside blockholders, such as financial institutions, the government, and industrial firms (only at high control levels), reduce the cash flow sensitivity of investment via effective monitoring. Finally, financial institutions appear to play a role in mitigating informational asymmetries between firms and capital markets. We corroborate our findings by performing additional tests based on the stochastic efficient frontier approach and power indices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and analyze the collaboration among authors of Wikipedia from a network analytical perspective; the edit network encodes who interacts how with whom when editing an article; it significantly extends previous network models that code author communities in Wikipedia.
Abstract: In this paper we give models and algorithms to describe and analyze the collaboration among authors of Wikipedia from a network analytical perspective. The edit network encodes who interacts how with whom when editing an article; it significantly extends previous network models that code author communities in Wikipedia. Several characteristics summarizing some aspects of the organization process and allowing the analyst to identify certain types of authors can be obtained from the edit network. Moreover, we propose several indicators characterizing the global network structure and methods to visualize edit networks. It is shown that the structural network indicators are correlated with quality labels of the associated Wikipedia articles.
